We are looking for someone who can shape pedagogy, research, training and staff development across the school.

You must be passionate about Teaching and Learning and professional development.

Committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, you will enjoy building on our existing work and will take the strategic lead in this important area. You will have a strong track record of impact in your current role and will be ready to share your experience of what exceptional progress and outcomes look like so that you can challenge our school community to improve further.

As part of a committed team, your insight will enable us to further develop our impact-driven strategic planning. Your role will include opportunities to grow leaders amongst staff and students, through coaching and distributed leadership; to promote pastoral care; to provide robust support and challenge for staff through our ambitious approach to Performance Development.

We are passionate about education being a vehicle for promoting equality for all and our mission is to empower young women to become leaders of the future. We are proud of our diversity and are committed to social justice. Although we are an Outstanding school (Ofsted, 2018), achieve exceptional outcomes and have consistently been in the top 20% of schools nationally for progress, our focus is on developing exceptional young women, not just on academic achievement.

We require someone with experience, vision and drive to help us to achieve our ambitious goal of ‘bringing out the gift’ in every member of our school community and inspiring them on a journey of lifelong learning.
